Your mind LOVES to prove that it's right. I mean, I love to hear someone tell me I'm right, don't you? But, this characteristic of your brain and mind are keeping you from living the life you dream of living, accomplishing the yoga posture you have always had on your bucket list, and so much more.

We ALL begin yoga by wanting to do it for ourselves. It's so we feel good, aren't so crazy cranky, and gain qualities of patience, generosity, and self-love. 

BUT, what if we decided to do the practice in honor of someone else? How would this thought effect your practice? 

It's a total mind flip and we're digging into thoughts on this today so that you can begin to bring these concepts to your own yoga mat. 

We are going to cover:

Devoting your practice to someone else instead of setting an intention. How this one thought can change everything for you, including assisting you in improving your relationships.

It's an interesting query, don't you think? Is it possible to "master" beginner level yoga? And, only then are you able to move on to an intermediate or advanced practice? We are digging in this week. Don't miss this episode - it's one that just might make your yoga practice... and your life. 

 Here are some takeaways from this episode:

How waiting to master beginner level yoga, or really anything in your life, can keep you stuck in one place - never growing or evolving into the person you came to this world to become.

This is completely out of character for me, but I think we need to talk about this one! Are you a better yogi if you don't eat meat? Are you are "real" yogi? What does that even mean anyway?  We are going to dig in to all of it. 

Here are some takeaways from this episode:

Eating meat, or animal protein is a must for some people. This does not make them less than, or not enough to be a good yogi. 

Being a yogi (someone that practices yoga) and practicing ahimsa... in my definition means you are doing the best you can.

Welcome back to the Meet Me on Your Mat Podcast! Today we are talking about all of the things we do before or after class and how that effects your practice. Because whether you realize it or not, those activities have become your practice rituals. 

Here are some takeaways from this episode:

Your rituals will evolve and change over time, so be good to yourself. It takes time to find your groove. 

Paying attention to how you enter class and exit it is most of the battle.
